Abstract	We propose 10 highly-charged ions as candidates for the development of next generation atomic clocks and search for variation of the fine-structure constant. These ions have long-lived metastable states with transition frequencies to the ground state between 170-3000 nm, relatively simple electronic structure, stable isotopes and high sensitivity to the variation of the fine-structure constant. We predict ion properties crucial for the experimental exploration using state-of-the-art theoretical approaches and highlight particularly attractive systems for these applications. Proposals for tests of Lorentz symmetry with highly-charged ions and Yb+ are presented.
